Our lab’s mission is to pursue collaborative, rigorous, reproducible, and accessible science to enhance knowledge of:
- Human movement and its awe-inspiring, dynamic complexity in neurotypical and neuro-divergent individuals
- How the brain contributes to individual differences in sensory and motor engagement and changes during maturation, learning, and experience
- How movement patterns influence an individual’s participation in meaningful activities (i.e., occupations)
La misión de nuestro laboratorio es realizar ciencia colaborativa, rigurosa, reproducible y accesible para mejorar el conocimiento de:
- El movimiento humano y su impresionante complejidad dinámica en individuos neurotípicos y neuro-divergentes.
- Cómo el cerebro contribuye a diferencias individuales en la participación sensorial y motora y en cambios durante la maduración, el aprendizaje y experiencia.
- Cómo los patrones de movimiento influyen en la participación de un individuo en actividades significativas (es decir, ocupaciones).
